EPIPHANY SERIES: “The World According to Jesus: 8 Steps to a New View” Jesus entered this first century world with ideas and actions that flipped it upside down. In place of dominance, he put serving. Instead of hatred, he taught loving one’s enemies and praying for your persecutors. To believe in him meant a change in perspective so dramatic it would cause the proud to fall and the humbled to be raised. It still calls for a new set of eyes and a willingness to be taken into a whole new vision of the world. |

LENT SERIES: “New Every Day” This series will seek to help people understand how God uses the crosses of life to transform his people. The world expects God to use the successes and glories of life to bless us. While this may be true, the Gospel teaches us that it’s the challenging times God most uses to usher in a new day. The cross is the path to new life. |
